Will someone please help me?
I'm begging you on my knees.
Give me some inspiration,
'Cause darkness is all I can see.
Someone lend me some courage;
There's a noose around my neck
It's itchy and scratchy and always at mind
the thought of the end
Sounds simply divine
I've got it all planned
But if you'd give me  hand
Maybe I'd start to live again.
I am at the end of my rope tonight.
Sydney Ann Jan 2015
Soon someone will love me
Soon someone will care

Soon someone will kiss me
Soon someone will dare

Dare to love me
Dare to hear
All my secrets
Secret fears

Fears that hurt me
Steal the air
Soon he will love me
I know he will dare

Life is like a spider's web
Piece by piece
Thread by thread
We work so hard to get it right
It's pieces pure
It's tendrils tight
You've taught me how to see my web
Through different eyes of different sizes
And recognise it's clever guises for what they really are
In other words, thanks for the insight
Sydney Ann Jan 2015
I can't believe
How spoiled I am
I have a bed to sleep in
Food
Water
Clothes
Yet sometimes I want more.
Such a brat!
Thinking I deserve these things
While people who work
100,000 times harder than me
Die every day
Without the things I take for granted
Things I never even think of
Why am I alive
If I'm such a waste of resources
All the wealth in the hands of the few. Very saddening.
Sydney Ann Apr 2015
Sticks and stones
for fear-filled bones,
I was shaking from the start.
Your words could ****
or keep me still,
but your silence tears my heart.
For the whole series check #stonesandroses
Sydney Ann Jul 2015
Sticks and stones
are what my soul
will run to when you're done

your words do drill
a deep cold chill
until I'm brittle to breaking


Roses are frosted
all flowers in bloom
close up with cold tears
they run from you too
Sydney Ann Nov 2015
Why did I ever deviate from listening
Talking just encourages releasing secrets to the wild.

Now I'm falling for him but I promise I wont let myself
He only ever loved my best friend
everyone loves her of course
but he and I are so alike
like clones that took different walks of life
I see him maybe falling towards mo too
but I'm too afraid to ask
I don't want to hear the answer.
True story
Sydney Ann Jan 2015
I would give anything to tell you
To explain
You just don't understand
You say you're not over her
How she hurt you
WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME?
So what if I like you
It's not like that
I love you
I want to help
But you ignore me
DO YOU KNOW WHAT HELL FEELS LIKE
Because I DON'T THINK YOU DO
Remember how I asked you to sit with me?
You sat with them
Even after you said they aren't your friends
I SAT ALONE
I cried.
In public.
This is rock bottom for me
How badly do you want me dead?
Just keep spilling the tears onto my keyboard,
Let's see how long it takes
Sydney Ann Mar 2015
All we want is to be free,
you lacked our opportunities.
You sat down with a goal in mind,
and others thought you’d crossed the line.
You fought silently until the end,
in such a sad and lifeless land.
You were a hero, plain to see,
in our hearts lives your bravery.
Sydney Ann Nov 2014
I write your words
On my arms
In times of need

Quiet throughout all the rooms
I sing to drywall

-You impress me in so many ways
No, the only thing that impresses me now days is your closed mind and your closed imagination
-You never intend anything bad; you're pure hearted
Sure, Unless it's an authority figure in your way, and with your nasty comments you aren't pure
-You never give up on the things that count
Except grades and morals, not to mention my beliefs.
-You're modest, smart, funny, a good talker, and a great person. This is why I love you unconditionally as a human being.
You're an idiot most of the time, I can't text you for 5 minutes without getting bored, but I remember how I loved you.
-You're polite, not critical unless you need to be
To me, at least**
-You have a sense of humor
-You're not fake and you don't pretend to be what you're not
-You own up to your mistakes
I know everyone says their love was the strongest, but I think ours was really something. I just now found out how people called us Romeo and Juliet, EVERYONE, even people like three grades above us and two grades below us knew about us, we were the role models. We never fought, we were the perfect little comedy act, we never realized at the time, but even in public we would stare, literally stare for like forever, at each other and life would move on around us. It wasn't coincidence that 2 seats were always left on that bench because people were waiting for us. I ask a friend, to this day, if she's in love with the guy she's been dating for months, and her automatic reaction is "I guess, but not like you and ____ were..."

I am beat up
By the tides of course,
But my heart does not feel the watery weight of feeling.
I fear this ocean wrings me dry
Despite the tides of emotion
They lap at my skin
I'll just drink a tea
Sweeten it with warm memories
I'll let the waves wring me dry
Sydney Ann Jul 2015
Just another rant about society
Here goes
Yes sir, yes I'd like to submit a complaint
as I stare at my shoes, my hypocritical shoes I walk in
All I am able to read these days is about love
People write
about love
lost love and the
spacesinbetween
Will someone show me
their life?
Freedom?
Friendship?
Trust?
Because today that's what I need
A break from the self created waves that wash us
Seriously though send me a link
Sydney Ann Aug 2015
There is really nothing
that can hold more promises
than a duffel bag.

All you see is clothing
but you keep glancing over at it,
waiting to find more

because it fills you
with hope of a better place.
Says "I am leaving,"

and you know that soon,
at least for a short while, that
travel holds you tight.
Traveling comforts me ❤ New series at #thisismylife

I have real feelings
I have real dreams
Sometimes I cry
Silently scream

l am a real person
Please listen for once
For I have no choice
Please hear my words
Please give me a voice
I never feel like l am important enough for anyone to listen to me

Day 2 to no prevail
with infinite available
my thoughts are, going
Idle              
No pressure , Zero gravity
Speaking my mind
In freaking rhymes

I'm bored
Can't even call
up a chord

It's dire,  yet today
I'm impossibly smiling

but I'm afraid
this can only work once
Why?            
the same                                
Dang                            
thing                        
Comes out      
Every time

Bored                      
My train of thoughts
looks like graphite
trains are _  I don't
Know

(The following was written in the margins)
So now I'm
going Sideways
my life is sideways
but no one ever got
anywhere
cool
by
walking
**forward
I found this in my Creative Writing class notebook. I tried to type it up exactly how it was on the page so ^ there it is ;)
Sydney Ann Apr 2015
We sit here with our pitiful little lives
Ants. ******* ants
line our poetry on the left side
Why?
Because it makes me feel safe
when I'm never safe
can't feel safe
I speak lines in my head
waiting for the boom
the rush
the power
that never comes
because I'm an ant
I cry
but tears aren't worth anything
human bodies like gods
goddesses
we destroy them
all of them
minds
spirits
we destroy everything
not sure why
1 in 12
seems corny but these are the teens that will try to die
pick your friends
write their names
now for every 12 pick the one that will die
do you understand?
how's that for ******* real
I sit here
waiting for the bomb to drop
but it doesn't because on this world
the only reasons for me to live
are the reasons I give myself
Sydney Ann May 2015
There is always a chance for you to be beautiful.
You will always be you, you will always be perfect.
You do not need to seek out beauty,
It's true, what they say,
about it being inside
you just have to stop looking.

Let it go,
for as soon as you see that beauty externally means nothing
you will be beautiful from the inside out

Hey, burning hot pizza with soggy insides *****.
**You will be the pizza that is warm all the way through and really perfect looking on the outside!!!!!!!
Sydney Ann Nov 2014
Seething, seething underneath
Makes it feel so hard to breathe
My eyes are hollow
Cheeks are wet
With memories of my regret
Internal storm
Rain outside
Pummeling my strung out mind
Sydney Ann Aug 2015
Even though he would have taken things from me
taken things and never given them back
even though he only wanted my blood
out for blood
and my body
he was someone to talk to
and it hurts so bad
almost as if... my heart only hurts at the idea of a break up
doesn't matter that I never loved him,
that he forced me,
flattery is the way to
distract
attack
and retract.
no questions asked?
I have questions
Sydney Ann Aug 2015
Love is an illusion
everything is fake
you make your own reasons
to give and to take
Sydney Ann Nov 2016
I'm a bleeding heart
Because someone sliced me
Sydney Ann Oct 2015
I wish I had some meaningful words left for you all
even as I write this I know its finished product is going to be
horrible absolutely
but I love you all dearly
your write such wonderful words
I just wish I had the attention left to read them
Like when I first started to write
and I produced phrases worth hearing
as Robert Frost said and will forever say
Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold
I suppose I couldn't stay gold forever
I'll resign to something darker
Sydney Ann Apr 2018
Two lines converged but
Before our strides lined up as we entered
I had made up my mind
Before our entrance
And he had made up his mind too
Though in this matter
He had no right

Were I a selfish woman
Or a woman at all
It would not have mattered how little unselfish kindness he was made of
For I would not have given way to his want
I would have known the value of the secret garden I possessed within
Of no value to anyone but myself
But of value to me like a splash of paint to a yet uncolored canvass

However I was not a woman
I was without firm identity
I was, most importantly, selfless.
And when a selfish wish
Is paired with a selfless heart
A black hole is formed
Which rips the self of one
Invisibly away.
And so when he asked
Though he had no right
I gave over my self
Which is to say autonomy
To the black hole
And as a woman now, I am incomplete
Sydney Ann Nov 2014
When voice fails
My purple pen
Embraces
My keening soul
Sydney Ann Dec 2014
Your warming touch
Penetrating stares
Filled with such
Love and care

I lose myself
I'm out of sight
This I have felt
This freezing night

I met your gaze
I'm filled with Light
In a daze,
But that's alright

I fight to keep
My heart from Pounding
Breath from Sounding
Feet from Fleeing
Body from Freezing up
Also from  when I was with Polar Opposite....

                                                         STAY AWESOME
Sydney Ann Nov 2014
I grow inside you
Love the dark
My teeth are sharper
than a shark's.

I'm cold as death
I make you run
(For me that's fun)


You're waiting for me
All the time
I'm hidden in your
children's rhymes.


Ashes ashes you have the plague
Humpty dumpty Rome starts to fade

I'm always here
I'm always near


**So try as you may
To keep me at bay
But I'm here to stay
Sydney Ann Nov 2014
As I cry these mental tears
I realize
what I miss the most
Is the warmth
And your eyes
Those beautiful eyes                                                                
And most of all
The way
I  could feel your heart
                                              your precious life so close to mine                  
I was so touched
That you would open up
And let me in
And I feel so bad
That I tore your heart up
Instead of protecting it

And  now the tears come
In my head
Sydney Ann Apr 2016
Sometimes I'd like to think I'm sane
when I know were all so crazy
I like to think that you'd say yes
while lots of others gave me maybe
some days I dream of ways to fly
instead of always crawling
sometimes I think of how the morning stars would make a pretty grave
but most of the days I'm dreaming of your face to block this ceiling
I'm tired of looking at the paint and feeling cold sheets
Be with me please
You're all that I need.
Sydney Ann May 2015
you don't know how much it would mean to me if you smiled
like my opinion doesn't matter well
it has to matter to someone because
I am all alone and of my thoughts
and emotions don't matter then
what have I left?
Sydney Ann May 2015
are loathsome
drop them
notes are sour
heart is dour
leave them, leave them all
why not?
discard what doesn't serve you
just a little girl here
waiting anxiously to be discarded
please?
Sydney Ann Feb 2015
there are moments
when i fade out of existence
disappear from reality
this reality
into a new one
a place you wouldnt believe
my place
my realm
it's my place to hide
safety from life
when you hurt me
i have to go there
it might protect me
wont hide me from your kind
your species
but maybe hide me from the pain
oh how it kills me.
Sydney Ann Dec 2014
I can live inside your eyes
If you'd catch me I could fly

I can breathe when you touch me
We'd be lovers... if you'd let me
I can hear when you whisper
And your words make my heart stir
All I taste is your kiss
(The definition of bliss)

**So now that you've left me
I'm dead inside
I'll never survive
So pull down the blinds
Lock up your doors
I'll probably come find you and devour your soul
Sydney Ann Jan 2017
One day we will all be gone
The only whispers that fill the halls
Will be the wind
And several cockroaches
The walls will remember us
But to the air and bugs
We have never existed
Sydney Ann Aug 2015
Who can know why I'm afraid of you?
They assure me that he's not direct,
he deals through manipulation...
but I'm afraid
of?
Who can know?
All I know is the thought of you stealing me away
destroying my tenuous hold on this world
my innocence
Even as you act so normal every day.
Sydney Ann Aug 2015
Who can know?
Whoever he decides.
I told him my story,
my precious story and now he knows my soft spots.
He uses them.
He texts me and I ignore them
and the sick fear creeping through me.
Pretends to be suicidal
talks about things I love
Is he being honest?

Who can know?
Sydney Ann Feb 2015
he never lets
anyone in

and probably
never will

he keeps it locked
away inside

so good at secrets
no one is even

suspicious

He who we looked up to
who is everyone's favorite guy
who walks tall and proud
who knows not how we rely on him
whose eyes have always sparkled
is cracked and broken
who trails stars the real kind behind him
who speaks words that could fly if he let them free
whose footsteps grow orchids in his wake
is poetry that cannot be spoken
is hiding behind his mindless joking
who never hid behind his cloak
is dark
is a garden of hope looking really stark
is hiding hurt
a bubbling soul now lies inert
is cracked
will nothing ever bring him back
is rain and shine and colorful days
who has the most amazing smile
is on the top of a building
not hearing
people who love him plead for him to come down
**so he does
It is up to you to decide whether he comes down by jumping or whether he comes down alive.

Why do I walk through life
Longing to embrace people
Yet always have no one
No one to hold me
Sydney Ann May 2015
You.                                 you
Even on the edge
of sleep
of death
of dawn
a knife
You are the thought that keeps me.
I stare at the ceiling
and you are the thought that makes me get up,
the thought of seeing you again

When I wish it was over because
I just can't be alone anymore
thinking of you puts the knife
rope
pills
back on the table
I can't do that without seeing your face
your smile
one
       last
                time
                                              before I sink to the soft black night for forever
You are my dreams
my heart
you
are the reason
I am here
Sydney Ann Oct 2015
I'm sorry you don't love me
and I know I should stop
but I know me well enough to see how this goes on
I never predict it until it's too late
and my head is already mixed up.
I miss the old me that wouldn't let you in so easily.
I remember her but she let someone else in and he stole her then she broke him but she broke herself too.
So let us let this continue
It feels more like a partnership for a business place
more like that than a matter from the heart
I've placed my matters in the middle of the page.
Sydney Ann Jan 2015
I'm tired of being the one in charge
The leader
The initiator
Deciding everything in our relationships
I know I'm hard headed
I know I'm stubborn
But ****** lets do this your way
I'm tired of deciding alone
Is it just me or do guys let the girl drive always, having someone else take care of me would be nice every once in a thousand years
Sydney Ann Dec 2014
I wish
People gave
Two *****
One ****
A ****


I know
If I was dead
You wouldn't miss me
Two bits

And if you cared,
You're out of luck

Your heart can't hold me
I'm like water
**Through sand
Sydney Ann Mar 2015
you                                pour
out feelings                   to her, I wish
you would see me, I know we share the
same gift I need someone like me
to talk to you're perfect
yet you pretend
not to
see
Sydney Ann May 2015
I want to do something
to make you proud of my mind.
Will you **** me trying?
